TMC Emergency Department

The emergency department is one of the most crucial services TMC provides for the community, which makes it important to note that TMC is designated as a Level III Trauma Center from the Texas Department of Health Services. This designation means that TMC has met stringent criteria for providing comprehensive care for trauma patients from admission through rehabilitation. The emergency department is open 24 hours a day to serve the unpredictable illnesses and injuries that affect people.

SANE Treatment

(For victims of sexual assault.)

Implemented in 1995, the TMC SANE program was the first program between Dallas/Fort Worth and Oklahoma City providing a certified nurse to examine children and adults who are victims of sexual assault.

TMC is a Safe Baby Location

Texoma Medical Center's Emergency Department is an official Safe Baby Site under the Texas Baby Moses Law (Texas Family Code, Chapter 262, Subchapter D. Emergency Possession of Certain Abandoned Children). This law authorizes a designated emergency infant care provider to take possession of a child appearing to be 60-days-old or younger from the child's parent, if the parent does not express intent to return for the child.
